STERLING, Mass. —

Police have found the Cadillac taken during a home invasion in which three men bound a 70-year-old woman with tape before stealing from her house. Three men involved with the crime are still on the run, police said.

Sterling police Chief Gary Chamberland said he could not speculate on a motive for the crime, but said they believe the home on Stephanie Anne Lane was not randomly targeted.

"Just because of the location of the house, where it is in Sterling, it's just not the kind of house you could pick randomly," he said.

Stephanie Anne Lane is a cul-de-sac near the center of town.

The black sedan was found about seven miles away from the victim's home, on Boutelle Road. It was abandoned in a make shift baseball field, with the keys still inside.

Officers were called to the house just after 10 a.m. Tuesday, after the 70-year-old victim was able to free herself and call 911. She told police that the men entered her home, bound her with tape and threatened her with a serrated knife.

The men spent about 20 or 25 minutes inside the victim's home and asked her about a safe, which did not exist, Chamberland said.

In the end, the three men left with about $1,000. She freed herself and called 911 about five minutes later.

She told officers that the men were in her home for about 25 minutes. The intruders were all wearing black clothing, gloves and masks, police said. They may have been white or light-skinned Hispanics.
